Exactly what they mean we cannot understand. Nine-tenths of the old “secession leaders" have taken little or no part in politics since the war end ed. The Southern people have followed the coaDseU of political neophytes and political trimmers. Had they kept these old “seces sion leaders" at their head they would have been much better off to-day. A timid Conservatism is what has injured the South. It whined about “ waste places" and “material resources;" ate any quantity of dirt and struggled for office.

Not a night passes that dozens of aban doned negro women do not pollute the streets with their presence. Where they do not oat- rage every moral sense by overt acts of in decency, they do not fail, by Rhameless solici tations, by suggestive gestures and filthy lan guage, to sicken and disgust every man who has a wife, a mother, or a sister, whom he loves and respects. Nor are there wanting white men—depraved creatures, whose sense of right and wrong have been long blunted by years of debauchery—to encourage the bordes of negro strumpets in their nefarious traffic. A stop must be put to this thing at once. It lies in tbe power of the City Counci to sup press and to render our thoroughfares at nigh) R. 8. Hpalciing, La Grange, Ga., aud oblige L. 8. Cox.

The board were greatly pleased with the evidences of scholarship and culture exhibited by the class, and they were conyinced that the practice of frequent written examination had contributed much to the high literary ex cellence of the papers examined. Each professor m turn made a statement to the board of the condition and waDts of his department—its scope, course of study, and the methods of instruction panned. The board were thoroughly impressed with the great need in all departments of the Uni versity of apparatus and other appliances and facilities for instruction.

With regard to the nature of the report itself, we know nothing. Bat it seems to us hardly possible that Col. Yancey could have had anything to do with the diction or the sentiment of this Report.

Twenty-two out of the thirty-six agricul tural colleges in the several States are so con nected.

We have, for some time past, been observ- ing the manner in which the telegraphic dis patches are sent, sod we must confess that there seems to be something radically wrong in their transmission.

For instance, the dispatch relating to \ tho Imperialist reception at Cbiselhnrst was conscience," and tbe late typo made it read “An old white hen was laying on his con science." Now, while the friends of the typo urged in extenuation of his offense that, if he thought anything was “lajiug" on the man’s conscience, his chance selection of “au old white hen," was both tasty and ap propriate, the editor declined to see it that way, aud tore him open with a shooting stick. He was discharged yesterday, on the ground of “commendable homicide," and complimented highly by tbe court on his promptness. •POT THEM.
